Expendable Vs. Returnable Plastic Packaging

Packaging, Recycling, Returnable Packaging

Returnable Plastick Packaging

Packaging is a critical supply chain asset, not merely an expendable cost. We conduct a rigorous assessment of both single-use (expendable) and multi-trip (returnable) packaging to define the optimal solution for complex operational demands. Ultimately, durable reusable packaging consistently proves to be the most resilient and economically sound choice for continuous industrial applications. To understand this value fully, we will cover:

  • What is Returnable Packaging?
  • What is Expendable Packaging
  • The Benefits of Returnable Packaging
  • Durable, Reusable, and Sustainable Returnable Packaging
  • Returnable Packaging at Green Processing Company

We often get asked about expendable packaging vs returnable plastic packaging, and which one is the most appropriate choice for one’s business needs.

Let’s take a look at the costs and benefits of each, giving a quick breakdown of the merits of returnable vs. expendable packaging.

What is Returnable Packaging?

Returnable packaging (or reusable packaging) is packaging that is used multiple times.

The Reusable Packaging Association defines returnable packaging as “pallets, bins, tanks, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), reusable plastic containers (RPCs) and other hand-held containers and totes, trays and dunnage that move products efficiently and safely through supply chains”.

Reusable packaging are products that are designed for lasting use in a system that ensures their effective recovery and return for continuous purpose. 

Products that are discarded are often associated with a lower cost, and that is true with packaging.

Read about Returnable Plastic Containers.

What is Expendable Packaging?

Comparatively, cardboard and wood expendable packaging are less expensive.

Plastic and metal packaging cost more upfront.

If the packaging will be used one or two times it’s very difficult to justify durable returnable packaging, but at some point and some number of uses, the cost justification can be made.

The Benefits of Returnable Packaging Containers

Durability of Returnable Packaging Containers

Plastic and metal packaging are made to carry significant weight and stack safely and they are durable materials, whereas cardboard is less durable.

Stackable Packaging

Plastic and bulk containers can be stacked 17-20 feet in a containers warehouse, while containers weigh 1,500 lbs.

Metal packaging can often be stacked even higher and with more weight.

Life Cycle of Returnable Packaging

We often find that the end of the life cycle is not considered when contemplating packaging.

Wood packaging virtually has no value and perhaps even a landfill cost.

Recycling Incentives

Cardboard can be recycled but the cost of gathering and preparing the cardboard will outweigh the rebate. For conversation’s sake, we can say that expendable is worthless at the end of the life cycle.

Cost

In the long term, returnable packaging will reduce costs.

Consider bulk plastic containers for packaging, that use HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) that is injection molded.

The most standard container in our industry is plastic 45 x 48 x 34 container and weighs approximately 130 lbs.

Environment-friendly

Products that can be reused many times and then recycled at the end of their lifecycle are more environmentally friendly, which is the main focus of our company.

On the other hand, products that are used once could have a bad environmental impact.

Read more about the benefits of recyclable packaging.

Reusable Plastic Bins Packaging

Durable, Reusable, and Sustainable Returnable Packaging

Whenever possible, we prefer handling returnable packaging as it’s the more environmentally sustainable and reusable choice.

In addition, it’s far superior in product protection and has the potential to eliminate supply chain costs associated with durability.

Returnables come with many benefits, including tear-resistance, easily foldable, drillable, and stitchable, fits right where non-returnables have previously been used, and a higher level of resiliency demonstrated against impacts and breakages.

Depending on care and use, some reusable containers can last as many as 100 uses and potentially more! That’s why we advocate for returnable over expendable in most cases.

Returnable Packaging at Green Processing Company

As we reach the conclusion of this year, we are gearing up for an exciting 2019 ahead having recently launched our newly updated website to provide clearer, more useful product information and a streamlined user experience.

This past year, Green Processing Company celebrated its tenth year in business and felt it was time for a fresh look, and more importantly, some useful product information.

Plastic Pallets Guide, Everything You Need to Know

Packaging, Pallets, Plastic

Plastic Pallets Guide - Everything You Want To Know Before Buying

Plastic pallets are the preferred choice by many warehouses, manufacturers, and companies with a need to ship products over long distances.

If you’re considering using plastic pallets, there are many reasons why plastic should be chosen over wood.

What Are Plastic Pallets?

Pallets are a structure built flat which look similarly like suspended flooring and which allow for mechanical handling of goods via a forklift, front loader, or jack.

They are most recognizably made from wood although they can also be made from plastic.

Types of Plastic Pallets

There are several types of plastic pallets, including most commonly drum, export, display plastic pallets, spill control plastic pallets, hygienic, RFID pallets, anti-static, shipping pallets, and transport plastic pallets.

Each takes on a different application. Design-wise, there are differences between those which are stackable or rackable. They can also be manufactured from different plastic materials, including recyclable plastics.

Advantages of Plastic Pallets

Advantages of Plastic PalletsThere are many advantages to using plastic pallets for your business and several reasons why they’re selected over wood.

Design Of Plastic Pallets

The plastic pallet design varies according to the need. The high-grade HDPE or PP plastic material is UV stabilized.

Plastic is very lightweight, weighing approximately 70 percent less than wood, which means lower shipping costs.

Cost Of Plastic Pallets

As a long-term investment, the average plastic pallet will last 10 times longer than a wood pallet. Plastic pallets are weather-resistant, chemical resistant, and impervious to weak acids and moisture – unlike wood.

Durability

Plastic is strong and durable, able to support a variety of shipping, transport, and storage needs.

Plastic pallets are 100% recyclable and reusable, which makes them significantly more eco-friendly than wood. If they’re stackable, you can save on space in a way wooden pallets don’t allow.

Plastic doesn’t have any splinters, nails sticking out, or sharp edges which makes them easier to handle and hazard-free.

New Pallets vs. Used Pallets

You can buy plastic pallets completely new or recycled and/or refurbished.

A recycled plastic pallet from Green Processing Company uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE), HDPE structural foam, polypropylene (PP), high molecular weight polyethylene (HMW-PE), and PP/HDPE.

The process of recycling plastic to form pallets starts with inspecting for contaminants, such as metal or paper.

Then, we clean them, shred them in a powerful plastic shredder, and then the ground plastic is stored until a full load is ready. At that time, the shreds are inserted into an injection mold, heated, and cooled. This is how we recycle more than 50 million pounds of plastics annually.

See more about Container Cleaning.

Do I Need a Seatbelt for a Plastic Pallet?

A lot of people may not be aware that plastic pallets can come with a seatbelt system included.

Seatbelt straps eliminate the need for plastic stretch wrap as well as the banding sometimes responsible for injuries and landfill waste.

For automotive manufacturing companies and others where seatbelts like these are common, you can achieve a lower cost-per-trip and improve expendable packaging numbers. Green Processing Company has pallets with no seatbelts, some with one, and others with two.

The Difference Between Stackable and Rackable Plastic Pallets

Stackable plastic pallets are most commonly used in warehouses and in closed loop shipping.

Stackables enable a company to stack products one on top of the other, without the risk of a pallet falling or slipping.

There are also rackable pallets that are best suited for use if you’re using a rack.

These are designed to be placed on a rack with no interference. They’re typically used when a heavy load is required to be held and/or to save more space on the containers warehousing floor.

Some of the key differences to weigh as to whether stackables or rackables are most appropriate for you to begin with load capacity. Rackables can carry a much heavier load compared to stackables.

Rackables are generally easier to clean although both pallet types can be cleaned. Stackables are usually best for warehousing, processing, and manufacturing, as opposed to rackables which are built better for heavy-duty loads, for long-distance shipping, and/or for a complex returnable supply chain environment.

Green Processing Company is an industrial packaging solutions company that has helped dozens of companies switch to plastic to manufacture, move, and store product.

Plastic has become the preferred method of storage and delivery for several industries, used by the automotive industry most prominently.

High quality in design, eco-friendly, and always with reliable performance, you’ll be glad you purchased plastic pallets for your business.

Plastic Pallets Vs. Wood Pallets Which Ones Are Better?

Packaging, Plastic

Plastic Pallets Vs Wood Pallets

Plastic pallets or wood pallets. This is a question a lot of retail, food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical corporations, industrial warehouses, and general small businesses weigh. Between plastic pallets and wood pallets, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. When it comes to which pallet type we prefer though, plastic is by and far the superior option. Here’s why:

  1. Eco-Friendly
  2. Easier To Clean
  3. Plastic Lasts Longer
  4. Cost Savings
  5. Dynamic Uses
  6. How Long Plastic Pallets Will Last?
  7. International Shipping
  8. Shipping Fragile Items

Eco-friendly

While wood pallets are generally biodegradable, pallets for sale are considered more eco-friendly as they are reusable. Then, when a plastic pallet can no longer be reused, it can be melted down at the end of its lifespan and recycled.

Read more about our recycling programs,

Easier to clean

Plastic pallets are perfect for products that need to be stored or transported with strict hygienic requirements. They’re also extremely easy to clean, wash, and/or sterilize. Any moisture, spill, or food that comes into contact with a wood pallet will get absorbed into the wood. Plastic doesn’t absorb a thing.

See more about container refurbishing and cleaning.

Plastic Pallets Are Lighter

Wood pallets are significantly heavier than plastic pallets. If you’re packing a lot of product in transportation, weight’s certainly something you want to keep in mind. This is yet another point on which plastic succeeds where wood fails.

Cost Savings

Plastic pallets are sometimes viewed as a more expensive material than wood because the upfront cost is higher. Where the cost-effectiveness of plastic comes into play is in use. Wood pallets are estimated to be good for roughly 5-6 trips on average before they start to break down. Now, compare this to plastic pallets which can easily last up to 250 trips and sometimes longer. In the long term, there’s a lot of money to be saved!

Dynamic Uses

Wood pallets are most commonly used in general manufacturing and warehouses because of how cheap they are to purchase and their effectiveness as a resource. That said, wood pallets are not suited for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or food and beverage companies. Contaminations, chemical or non-chemical spills, and moisture can completely kill wood. For food and beverages, chemical storage and transportation, and pharma companies, plastic pallets are safe, protective, and aren’t porous like wood so they won’t absorb moisture or grow fungus.

Plastic Lasts Longer

Plastic pallets have a significantly longer lifespan than wood, as mentioned earlier. Did you know though that plastic pallets can last up to 10 years and beyond – it’s true! Alternatively, wood pallets won’t even come close to that number.

International shipping

Some countries have regulations in place to oversee the import of wood pallets while others completely prohibit it. If you are shipping containers overseas and/or internationally, plastic pallets avoid these regulations altogether which makes it easier to move products through your supply chain.

Shipping fragile items

Wood pallets and the fasteners used to stabilize goods on them can sometimes lead to damage. Punctures on products such as a can of paint can cause significant damage, require an immediate clean-up, and possibly delay the arrival of goods. Plastic is much better contained and poses less risk to the product. For fragile items, this is perfect.

These are just a few of the reasons why to choose plastic pallets over wood. Although wood pallets are the most commonly used in manufacturing and logistics, more and more companies and corporations across so many different industries are realizing the benefits of plastic.
